What is a cruising sailors yarn?

According to Wikipedia: Cruising by boat is a lifestyle that involves living for extended time on a vessel while traveling from place to place for pleasure. Cruising generally refers to trips of a few days or more, and can extend to round-the-world voyages but it does include by implication a destination and pleasure.

A Yarn? Well it could be anything that you have done, seen, or even heard of, that would make an interesting story. Mermaids seem to have disappeared and Sea Monsters are more seldom, but with millions of Sailors throughout the world, there must be millions of interesting yarns to be told.

Is this your Marina? Could this be your boat? Register your yarn with CSY in the form of a video, a few pictures or a link to your blog and let other sailors share your interesting or exciting experiences.

So how can we keep our Memories fresh or at least recall them in detail and share them with others?

If it is interesting rough weather Hollywood film stuff we are really too busy to film or to think about how to protect our camera from salty spray. If it is sunshine and light weather sails then we are mostly too lazy to document our indolence.

I must emphasise that Cruising Sailor’s Yarns is not about us, but with countless boats sitting in Marinas all over Europe there must be countless yarns waiting to be told.
